>Kawhi turned down SuperMax money
Not true. You can't turn down what you weren't offered.
>The Spurs were >prepared to offer him the SuperMax
Quite possibly! But they never did.
> and pitched to him to stay
Definitely true, but they notably didn't offer a SuperMax in that pitch.
>(or do I need to track down the reports for you of Pop meeting >w/ him and the org being prepared to give him the SuperMax).
Jeff Flake is prepared to not vote for Kavanaugh, but we all know he still will. People being "prepared" to do something isn't the same as an actual follow-through. Action >> preparation. Ultimately they didn't make Kawhi have to make a decision on the SuperMax, because they didn't offer him the SuperMax.
>The prospect of SuperMax money wasn't enough to >keep Kawhi in San Antonio
Maybe, maybe not, but we don't know as it wasn't offered. What we definitely know is it wasn't offered.
>and it's certainly plausible that >it won't be enough to keep a player like AD in NO should a >more enticing option be available.
Also plausible, but again, this has nothing to do with the Kawhi situation, since AD still has a chance to be offered the SuperMax, and Kawhi notably was never offered the SuperMax.
(P.S. Why are we capitalizing/not spacing SuperMax as if it's a workout machine sold on QVC?)
